Chute magnets ML ALARM with indication of magnet saturation

We recommend the ML ALARM in operations where it is not possible to reliably estimate how quickly the separator becomes saturated — for example, when the amount of metal contaminants in the material is variable or when operation is irregular. The fill-level indication ensures that operators clean the separator exactly when necessary and do not miss a cleaning at a critical moment.

The system operates in two states: a green light indicates that the separator is working at full efficiency (100%), while a red light signals that the magnetic plates are completely saturated with contaminants and immediate cleaning is required (efficiency 0%). The visual LED beacon or light on the separator door is clearly readable by operators directly at the workplace.

The ML ALARM is designed for separating metal contaminants from materials with poor flow properties — typically grains, flour, sugar, sawdust or powder materials — for which conventional grid separators could become clogged or blocked. It is particularly suited to food processing, chemical, woodworking, pharmaceutical and ceramic industries.

We manufacture ML ALARM separators in connection diameters of 100 to 300 mm with a maximum capacity of 10 to 150 m³/h depending on the model. We will recommend the exact size and variant after analysing your operation and testing your material — tests are carried out free of charge with results within 3 working days.

Ferrite magnets are suitable for separating metal contaminants of standard size and are the more economical option. Neodymium magnets capture even very fine ferromagnetic particles and achieve higher magnetic induction — the choice depends on the required efficiency, the size of contaminants to be captured and the operating conditions; we will recommend the right variant after testing your material.

The separator is designed for manual cleaning — when the red signal activates, the operator opens the separator door and removes the captured ferromagnetic contaminants. The fill-level sensing probe is adjustable, allowing the system sensitivity to be adapted to the specific material and the size of contaminants being captured.

A saturated magnetic plate gradually reduces separation efficiency — in extreme cases down to 0%, at which point the separator ceases to fulfil its protective function. This can lead to metal contaminants penetrating downstream equipment, machine damage and customer complaints; the ALARM system signals this situation before it occurs.

Yes, we manufacture separators to order — we adapt connection diameters, the method of connection to the pipe system (standard flange or Jacob flange) and the position of the signalling probe. Every project begins with a site visit, measurement and design of a solution; delivery includes installation, commissioning, operator training and authorised service.
